A man and his brother were pelted from brush and fired upon after receiving a skull adorned pistol and letter ordering a midnight meeting with an unknown writer on Curtain Road. They returned fire but found no suspect. A Canton incident on the railroad involved drifters placing a torpedo on the rails below the viaduct, halting a freight train. The Inebriata Woman's Home becomes a Chicago institution as the Military Institute property near Belle Plaine is purchased by Washingtonian Home trustees for a women led reform effort.
